Fired or Put on Leave Due to Trump’s Executive Orders on DEI? We Can Help.

If you are a private-sector employee working for a federal contractor in California and have been put on leave or terminated due to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, you may have legal options. Polaris Law Group is dedicated to protecting the rights of employees who have been unfairly targeted due to changing political policies.

Understanding the Impact of Trump’s Executive Orders on DEI in the Workplace

Recent executive orders have led to significant changes in workplace policies for federal contractors, including restrictions on DEI training and initiatives. Unfortunately, these changes have resulted in some employees being placed on leave, demoted, or even wrongfully terminated. If you have lost your job due to your involvement with DEI programs or your support for workplace equity initiatives, you may have a case for wrongful termination, retaliation, or employment discrimination.

Your Rights as a Federal Contractor Employee in California

Federal contractors must comply with employment laws that protect workers from wrongful termination and workplace discrimination. These include:

  • California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA): Protects employees from discrimination and retaliation based on political beliefs, race, gender, and advocacy for workplace equality.

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: Prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, or religion, which may be applicable if DEI-related terminations disproportionately impact protected groups.

  • Whistleblower Protections: If you reported concerns about discriminatory practices and were terminated as a result, you may have a legal claim under California and federal whistleblower laws.

Do You Have a Wrongful Termination Case?

If you were fired or placed on leave due to DEI-related policies, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Were you actively involved in DEI training or initiatives?

  • Did your employer cite political or ideological reasons for your termination?

  • Did your employer claim compliance with executive orders as a reason for your termination?

  • Were you given unclear or shifting reasons for being placed on leave?

If you answered yes to any of these, you may have a legal claim. Our experienced California employment attorneys can review your situation and help you determine the best course of action.
